Hello everyone. The BOR review team is back from retirement (by popular demand) to share our thoughts on everyone’s new favorite Christian Christmas movie (no it’s not a Hallmark movie). No doubt you’ve been inundated by the aggressive marketing campaign for Journey to Bethlehem, a film that was tossed around production purgatory until the Hollywood strikes provided a perfect opportunity for a Christmas media monopoly. That’s literally the only reason this movie survived.
We have much to say about Journey to Bethlehem (in this and in future posts,) but for the purpose of this post we’ll provide plenty of space for the crew to speak in their own words. From director Adam Anders:
#wut
#youdon’tsay
The in-betweens would be everything that’s not the actual Nativity, visit of the Magi, or Jesus going to the temple.
I think this better sums up Anders’ actual philosophy:
Whereas this sums up the worldview of the entire movie

Our reaction^
Anyway, as we’ll touch on further in upcoming posts, this laissez faire attitude towards the Biblical account and the spirit of the true story definitely produced the results that are seen in the finished product.
Never fear…we have much more content to come regarding this movie! In the near future we will break down different aspects of the movie and different character groups in separate posts. Each upcoming post will have its own rating system due to the nature of the film in question. We can’t wait to laugh and debate (in friendliness) with you! Hey, don’t take our word for it! Go watch the film and see what you think. Better yet, let us know your thoughts in the comments below. 😉
